| Transparency: What speakers have it in spades? There are litterally a GILLION speakers out there that have the whole "transparency" thing down, as most people understand the word. Most readily recognizable speakers that come to mind are Wilson's, Theil's,Maggie's, Verity's, Talon's, Merlin VSM... | |
| Can I run 4 ohm Dynaudio's with Marantz sr8001 Here's what will REALLY HAPPEN:As the rear channels often don't receive that much info (and if they do, it's usually for intermitent periods of time), usually things will "run" fine back there, in terms of delivering a steady flow of power. Mind y... | |
| Marantz versus Denon Personally, having sold both lines over the years, and having owned products from both, I perfer the Denon line as a whole. You mix that with the Audyssey MultEQ in the Denon's, the anouncement of 1.3 HDMI capability, and the warm, full bodied sou... | |
| Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies I recommend (even one will do in a room 3000cu feet) a couple of Paradigm Servo 15's and you'll be fine. Pretty darn musical, and plenty of range for movies...excellent subs. You could go with more expensive Revel's and M&K MX5000's and such, ... | |
| What happened to all the tube amps? About 6 years ago, I purchased an used Jolida 502a for $400 in the local paper. Today, it's about double that used!!!! I think tube amps are more popular today than 10 years ago, personally. I think people have discovered the benefits that tubes o... | |
| Need a new AV receiver You mentioned nothing about your room, setup, acoustics, or speakers and associated equipment in the system. It's like recommending clothes without mentioning the persons dimmensions and environment in which they'll be wearing it!Denon 3806, sound... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century So, are these preamps going to be at "The Show" in Vegas this coming year? Also, where's there website now? My puter's too slow to check all the post's here. | |
| HT Receiver or High end integrated for music?? Vman71? I'd like to know your speakers that you've "upgraded crossovers" on. Any input would be appreciated. Any higher end speaker applications? I've got to figure any competent speaker designer would "specialize" in crossover networks (passive, ... | |
| HT Receiver or High end integrated for music?? There's centainly things to be considered here, and factors that need to be taken into account. If you are playing rock, R&B, techno, rap, new world music, or are a "head-banger", and like high dynamics and loud levels, then you probably will ... | |
| Best HT setup: rcvr and speakers under $2k Looks like old times... | |
| HT receiver best under 1k??? Ah yes...same thing here.What's the acoustical and video system scenario like in your room?...Do you need a receiver with and EQ?...do you need a receiver strong enough to drive larger or more demanding speaker loads?...Would you consider separate... | |
| What is the best HT 5.1 system 2k First, since this is totally subjective (everyone, including pro reviewers has DIFFERENT GEAR!), and you didn't mention about the room setup, acoustics, or listening/viewing lifestyles(do you listen to music, or mostly movies?...What kind?...how l... | |
| Do I need Pro Logic IIx? My recommendation here, is that QUALITY ABOVE QUANTITY!! Many people are more concered aboust subjects like 5.1 vs. 7.1 (or 6.1), SACD vs. DVDA, HD DVD vs. Blue Ray, Dipoles vs. Direct firing, and so on!!! The problem here is that the vast majorit... | |
| what is the best way to upgrade my HT system? HANDS DOWN, the absolute best way you could upgrade the performance of your system, or any system, is to have it properly setup, engineered, calibrated, tweaked, and acoustically treated (or at least consulted)!!You can change equipment, move ever... | |
| New Pre-Pro or Pre with HT by-pass You can really use ANY preamp, and simply use the tape input or auxilary input, etc. I've used the Audio Research 15 and 16 (with bypass) and, with the right tube compliments, these preamps are about in the same ball park. The 16 getting the edge ... |
